Can one of you identify these mbQuart crossovers and point me toward the specs for them?

What's the best way to find out the crossover points for these?

Plug the capacitor value into a 2nd order crossover calc and see what freq you come up with.

I don't have them yet. Just trying to figure out if they are worth paying to have them shipped to me.

Unless you are using the Quart speakers they were designed for I would say "No."

OK, thanks. I should probably just bite the bullet and go active anyway. I was just trying to see if I could make my 2 channel amp work for my frontstage, but it looks like I'll soon be in the market for a 4 channel amp.

You'd be better off building a "custom" passive network than just using one from another set. Doing might be cheaper than going with an active setup, but it's hard to tell. You might hit on a good freq that works right off the bat. You also might have to switch out components a bunch of times and still not get it sounding right. Going with an active setup using a continuously variable crossover with independant controls for high/low left and right freqs is the surest way to get it just right. This assumes that you take the time to tune it up.
